What is SOAP and why it is required ?

Answer Posted / aswini de

SOAP stands for simple object Access protocol .

SOAP structures a message into two main parts: the headers
and the body.
SOAP is more than just a sender-receiver protocol, although
that, too, is certainly the dominant use today. SOAP
supports the concept of a message passing from a recipient,
possibly through one or more intermediaries, and ending up
at its destination, more precisely known as the ultimate
receiver.
